Dear Rojan, thanks for that fantastic script.
I'm afraid the JS script does not work with utf-8 strings such as "ÖÄÜßöäü".
They might be encoded properly (not sure) but when decoded they end up something like this "����ö"
I gave a try encoding it using the node.js uft8 lib but that failed.
I removed the 'utf8' argument from line #8 that worked for the string "ÖÄÜßöäü" but e.g. not for a more complex JSON-String like that
'{"name":"ÖÄÜßöäü", ort:"pöäsd asdölkj sadfj asdflkj"}'

it gave me this error on the console:

crypto.js:202
  var ret = this._handle.final();
                         ^
Error: error:0606506D:digital envelope routines:EVP_DecryptFinal_ex:wrong final block length
    at Error (native)

EDIT: I changed the "binary" arguments for decryption to "utf8" and it worked well with special characters.

var crypto = require('crypto');
var key = 'MySecretKey12345';
var iv = '1234567890123456';
var cipher = crypto.createCipheriv('aes-128-cbc', key, iv);
var decipher = crypto.createDecipheriv('aes-128-cbc', key, iv);
//decipher.setAutoPadding(false);

var text = '{"name":"ÖÄÜßöäü", ort:"pöäsd asdölkj sadfj asdflkj"}';
var encrypted = cipher.update(text, 'utf8', 'binary');
encrypted += cipher.final('binary');
hexVal = new Buffer(encrypted, 'binary');
newEncrypted = hexVal.toString('hex');
console.log('Encrypted: ', newEncrypted);

var decrypted = decipher.update(newEncrypted, 'hex', 'utf-8');
decrypted += decipher.final('utf-8');

console.log('Decrypted: ', decrypted);

WOn't work in php 7.2, since mcrypt was removed

@vip3r011use any php library/example for aes-128-cbc method, eg: https://gist.github.com/odan/138dbd41a0c5ef43cbf529b03d814d7c

Is this works fine with public key private key encrypt decrypt

I created an updated Gist for use in Web(browsers), Node.JS, command line and PHP 7
https://gist.github.com/Lawlez/88e04e3541cc0608c953a118b86bfc1a

I'm still working on a solution that allows me to use any implementation (Node / PHP / openssl) for encryption and get the web version to decrypt it successfully. currently, I'm still facing issues when trying to decrypt a string in node or web that was encrypted using openssl CLI.

hope it helps
